Limestone had the most All-Region selections with six while Coker tied Clayton St. for the second-most with three.

The First Team All-Region was made up of Plougmand along with Coker's Matty Tricker and four Satins. Mark Radoki, Hugo Vien, Stefan Roeb and Nikolaj Bertlesen were all First Team selections.

The second team was made up of Claudel N'goubou and Falk Jorch from Limestone along with the SAC Freshman of the Year in Coker's Oskar Kaufmann. Also, Mars Hill's Sam Bayly, Lenoir-Rhyne's Harri Rowe and Coker's Jorhan Chopin.
